There will be no admission charged to come and enjoy the music. Obviously, if you want to do some shopping or eat, there will be costs, but the event itself will be free to attend.” LAIC Executive Director Rory Maynard added “This new event will not only bring families, friends and the community together but create a positive economic impact by bringing people down town.
